Topic: Ammo? (Read 2972 times)

is it so bad everywhere? i gone to our local bi-mart several times and the shelves are bare. they have a 2 box limit. the kid told me that i'd have to be there when the door opened if i wanted to get anything.

got there when the door opened today and they had some odd stuff and 4 boxes of .9mm. don't even need any of that but bought it anyway. that the NATO round. if there were a shortage of something, i'd think it would be .9mm....

anyway....there was nothing else. not .22 or even shotgun shells.....never mind the stuff i really wanted.

.....The greatest changes occur in their country without their cooperation. They are not even aware of precisely what has taken place. They suspect it; they have heard of the event by chance. More than that, they are unconcerned with the fortunes of their village, the safety of their streets, the fate of their church and its vestry. They think that such things have nothing to do with them, that they belong to a powerful stranger called “the government.” They enjoy these goods as tenants, without a sense of ownership, and never give a thought to how they might be improved.....

It's been several years since I bought any .22LR. When someone told me how much a brick costs now I almost passed out. INCREDIBLE!!!!! :shock:

We have a large sporting goods wholesaler in our town. They say that they will get 2-3 pallets of ammo in and within 5 minutes could have it all sold if they had not put limits on the retailers.

www.beeweather.comAmerican blood spilled to protect the freedom and peace of people all over the world. 320,000 USA casualties in WWI, 1,076,000 USA casualties in WWII, 128,000 USA casualties in the Korean War, 211,000 casualties in the Vietnam "conflict", 57,000 USA casualties in "War on Terror". Benghazi, Libya, 13 USA casualties. These figures don't include 70,000 MIA. But, the leaders of one political party of the United States of America continue to make the statement..."What difference does it make?".

"We can't expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism."..."The press is our chief ideological weapon." - Nikita Khrushchev

.22 is the only one I haven't been able to find. Of course, we are paying the price. My 6.00 box of .32's are now 20.00.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

We have the same issue here in Montana. I have kids in other parts of the country and the panic buying and therefore shortage is nation wide. I have a friend in the gun shop business and he said it should all straighten out in another 30 days. The ammo suppliers are so far behind, but they should be caught up soon. It doesn't help that the "government" is in competetion with us, buying everything they can get ahold of.

Powder is my problem. I have caught days when primers were available. I have kegs of shotgun powder and I have acquired molds and sizing dies and gas checks for rifle and pistol bullets. Frankly, a deer dies about as well with a lead 180 grain coming out of an 06 or .308 at 1800 fps or a 2500fps paper patched one. It is those people who buy 9mm when they don't own one that exacerbates the problem! But I fully repect the right to maintain a stock of valuables for barter and trade. This buy everything on the shelf happened in 1991 or 94 when the Clintonistas made their foray against the second amendment. Now with both of Bath House Barry's elections. Time will tell.

The government is buying a crap load of "training" ammo for it's agencies, Department of Homeland Security, Social Security agents, National Weather service and such. I would buy it when you can find it.

I checked this out on snoops today. There is some truth but it has been exaggerated.

Careful, you could start a firestorm quoting "Snoops" ! I for one don't trust them.

They will deny or tone down anything that is anti-liberal. I think they are worse than the incorrect emails.

My dad got me started "rolling my own" reloading at age 13 with a mec 12 ga. At age 16 I got my 1st pacific press and started loading centerfire rifle. Except for steel shot waterfowl shells, 22 and 22 mag I have not bought anything but casings, powder, bullets, shot and primers for 42 years.

I'm researching this. There are a lot of different presses and such. All new to me. I can see me doing this in the near future.

I checked this out on snoops today. There is some truth but it has been exaggerated. If two billion rounds to non military agencies like Social security, IRS and ya gotta love the TSA! All hollowpoint. Yeah that is the orders in, the only exageration is some has not been shipped to them. It goes with several hundred armored cars, targets with old people, pregnant women and children on them who are carrying guns--to get people used to shooting at non traditional targets. Two million dollars worth. Remember Bath House Barry saying when he was running the first time we needed a civillian force just as large, well funded and armed as the military? Time will tell.
